This concise historical-essay commemorates the 100th anniversary of the political event known as "El Lomazo" (the 1926 Chamorro coup attempt) in Nicaragua. The author examines the pivotal role played by Henry L. Stimson, U.S. Secretary of State, who in 1927 mediated the Pact of Tipitapa ("El Espino Negro") between President Adolfo Díaz and liberal leader José María Moncada—effectively ending the Constitutional War and establishing U.S.-supervised control over Nicaraguan politics. Zambrana Fonseca analyzes how this diplomatic intervention shaped national sovereignty and deepened U.S. influence, situating Stimson as a key figure in the imperialist trajectory that sparked the rise of the Sandino rebellion.
